Chapter 232: The Mystery of the Chains, the Master of Extinction, the Primordial Demon God!
Boom——!!!
An extremely muffled huge roar exploded in the Chaos!
That wasn't the clear clang of metal striking metal; it was more like a divine mountain colliding with the stars,
The sound was so heavy it distorted space itself.
The Golden Cudgel smashed solidly onto the black chain!
Sun Wukong only felt a terrifying rebound force coming from it,
It shook his arm bones to make a 'crack-crack' sound, his tiger's mouth burst, and he could barely hold onto his divine weapon.
The chain shook violently, sending out rings of black ripples on its surface, like a stone tossed into dead water.
But it did not break!
Not even a single crack appeared!
"Huh?" Sun Wukong narrowed his golden eyes; this blow of his could shatter a great world, yet it could not move this chain in the slightest?
However, the next second, something even stranger happened.
"Ugh——!"
A muffled groan of extreme pain issued from Ji's mouth.
His eternally icy cold face twisted for the first time from pain, his features all scrunched together.
The Silent Extinction giant hand he reached toward Sun Wukong with also froze mid‑air,
The Extinction Power condensed on it, like a deflated balloon, instantly dissipated more than half.
Effective!
In Sun Wukong's eyes, two dazzling golden lights burst forth instantly!
"My old Sun guessed right!"
"This thing's weak point is not himself at all, but these chains that look utterly indestructible!"
Strike him, he can turn to nothing, dissolving all attacks.
But strike these chains, you can bypass his Dao and directly wound his Primordial Source!
"You damned monkey!"
Ji's voice was filled with shock and anger; his gaze toward Sun Wukong,
no longer looked at a bug that could be casually wiped away, but carried a hint of incredulous… apprehension!
"What… do you know!"
He couldn't fathom how this monkey could, in such a short time, see through the essence of 'Extinction'!
"My old Sun doesn't know anything!" Sun Wukong grinned, revealing his white fangs; that smile was full of wildness and mockery.
"All I know is that your inhuman, monstrous appearance makes me, old Sun, feel extremely annoyed!"
"Since hitting you is useless, I'll just smash your skeletal frame to pieces!"
Before his words even fell, Sun Wukong's figure surged upward again!
He gave Ji no chance to react; the Golden Cudgel in his hand whirled into an impenetrable golden windmill,
bearing the unreasonable, matchless mighty power of the Way of the Equal Heaven, he launched a storm‑like assault on the nine chains on Ji's body!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The muffled impacts rang out in the Chaos, dense as drumbeats!
Each impact made Ji let out a painful groan, his body trembling violently.
Each heavy blow made the body he had just condensed turn more illusory, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
Ji desperately channeled his Silence Extinction Power, forming black shields to block Sun Wukong.
But Sun Wukong was like a frenzied beast, completely ignoring his defenses; all his power went into smashing those nine chains!
When his Silence Extinction Power came into contact with Sun Wukong's black‑gold Dao Rhythm protecting his body,
it was like ice meeting scorching sun, emitting a 'hiss‑hiss' sound, continually melting away!
"Impossible!"
Ji stared in shock, discovering that Sun Wukong's Way of the Equal Heaven, after breaking and then standing, actually produced a hint of restraint against his 'Extinction' Dao!
More precisely, Sun Wukong's Dao had gained an 'irrational' 'existence' attribute!
"His Dao is to 'live'!"
"It is to 'cause a ruckus'!"
"It is to 'contend'!"
This stands in fundamental opposition to Ji's Dao, which represents 'Deathly Silence', 'Tranquility', and 'End'!
In the distance, Yao saw this scene; the blood finally returned to her pale face.
"Wukong, he has found a way to counterattack!"
Her gaze also fell upon those strange chains; in her ethereal eyes, a hint of doubt flickered.
"These chains…"
Yao murmured softly; her Illusory Dream Dao can see through the illusory.
In her eyes, these chains are not solid, but nine twisted rules, nine contracts of summoning.
That is a pure 'Primordial' power.
It co‑exists and intertwines with the Extinction Dao power on Ji's body, forming a strange balance.
"These chains are not magical treasures…"
"They are more like… a medium for some kind of summoning…"
"Connecting to a place… even farther than the Chaos, a void."
Just as Yao's words fell!
A sudden change arose!
As Sun Wukong launched his frenzied attack, the nine chains did not break, but the black light flowing on them grew ever brighter!
They seemed to be completely activated!
The entire Chaos Realm shuddered!
An indescribable, vast and ancient aura suddenly emanated from the tip of those nine chains, from the unknown depths of the void!
Boom—!
Chaos churned, the laws wailed!
Behind Ji, within the endless darkness, a blurry huge silhouette began to slowly emerge!
That silhouette was enormous!
It was enormous beyond description!
Merely a blurry outline occupied Sun Wukong and Yao's entire field of view, as if the whole Chaos Realm were just a speck of dust beneath His feet!
Merely His appearance caused the surrounding Chaos laws to tremble and shatter!
This was nothing like Hongjun's post‑heavenly false Heavenly Dao!
This is a kind of… born as the "Dao" itself, truly…
Primordial Devil God!
That huge figure had no facial features, no face, only a pair of eyes hollow to the extreme!
When those giant eyes slowly opened and "looked" toward Sun Wukong…
Sun Wukong shuddered violently! His blood seemed to ignite and began to boil!
He felt a throbbing from the deepest part of his bloodline!
Not fear, not submission!
But a… resonance of the same origin!
The aura emanating from this unnamed Primordial Devil God…
…matched the "Dou Zhan" Primordial Source born within him from the Chaos Stone, with countless threads of connection!
It seemed as if he were a fragment that had broken off from that Devil God!
What the hell is going on?!
Sun Wukong's heart was overwhelmed by tumultuous waves!
And just then, Ji, who had been passively taking blows, suddenly stopped his miserable cries!
He lifted his head; on his pale, twisted face appeared an expression of frenzied devotion!
He bowed deeply before that huge figure, prostrating himself fully!
His voice, filled with uncontainable excitement and madness, echoed throughout the Chaos Realm!
"Welcome back, my Master!"
He slowly raised his head, looking at Sun Wukong with the gaze of one inspecting a sacrifice!
"Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong!"
"You are honored!"
"You will personally witness what is… the ultimate truth of the end!"
